This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Yup, i think in many ways 2021 was a needed loss for the left to familiarize themselves with RCV and all its intricacies
Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.
From a key Mamdani adviser ❤️

after removing undecideds we have:

Cuomo - 40%
Zohran - 33%

within the margin of error of the Expedition poll. we're showing the same race, only thing that differs is RCV

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom.

What’s different about this question from many Qs in politics, is the *lack* of polarization—by party or by race. This dimension, which we can call “news engagement,” cuts across other dimensions, and tells us something your party & demographics alone cannot. Makes a potentially powerful tool.

When Democratic voters are asked how they would grade the Democratic Party on its response to Trump, 70% give the party a C or below.

About 1 in 5 give the party an F, and only 10% give an A.

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now.

It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban.
